My research, writing, and multimedia arts practice often intersect with public humanities/arts programming. Because all of these areas of my creative/intellectual life are grounded in research-creation, social justice, and interdisciplinary collaboration, I often share work across media and with diverse audiences. Here you’ll find a selection of those projects and events:
Season 5 of Novel Dialogue opens with an impassioned refresher course in literary theory brought to you by Ocean Vuong, poet and author of the bestselling novel On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous(2019). Ocean talks with critic Amy E. Elkins and host Emily Hyde about browsing bookstore shelves and building his personal reading list of “life-giving weirdos.” They discuss genre and gender, antiquing and thrifting, fish sauce and photography, all the while integrating the insights of queer theory and the full range of literary history.
